GLOSSARY Roller Wave: The appearance of waviness sometimes seen in heat treated glass caused by the glass moving over rollers in the tempering furnace. Sandblasted Finish: A surface treatment for flat glass obtained by spraying the glass with hard particles to roughen the surface. The method restricts vision while maintaining a level of light transmission. Setting Blocks: Generally rectangular, cured extrusions on which the glass product bottom edge is placed to effectively support the weight of the glass. Viracon recommends that only 100% silicone setting blocks be used for all types of glazing systems. Shading Coefficient: Shading coefficient is the ratio of solar heat gain through a specific type of glass that is relative to the solar heat gain through a 1/8”” (3mm) ply of clear glass under identical conditions. As the shading coefficient number decreases heat gain is reduced which means a better performing product. Sightline for Insulating Glass: Edge dimension of insulating glass covered by spacer and intended to be covered in glazing channel. Silk-screen: A process of applying a specific design or pattern to glass. The design is made by placing a screen over a piece of glass and then pressing ceramic frit by means of a large squeegee through the pores of the screen. After the frit is applied the glass goes through an infrared oven to dry the frit and then through a tempering furnace to fire (bond) the frit to the glass permanently. Skylight: A window glazed in a roof or ceiling of a building. Sloped Glazing: Glass units that are glazed more than 15° off vertical. Solar Control Glass: Tinted and/or coated glass that reduces the amount of solar heat gain transmitted through a glazing product. Solar Energy: The sum total of the solar spectrum. Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): The portion of directly transmitted and absorbed solar energy that enters into the building’s interior. The higher the SHGC the higher the heat gain. Solar Reflectance: The percentage of solar energy that is reflected from the glass surface(s). Solar Reflective Coatings: Coatings that reduce heat gain through higher solar reflection. Solar Spectrum: The solar spectrum commonly referred to as sunlight consists of ultraviolet light (UV) visible light and infrared (IR). The energy distribution within the solar spectrum is approximately 2 percent UV 47 percent visible light and 51 percent IR. Solar Transmittance: The percentage of ultraviolet visible and near infrared energy (300 - 3000 nanometers) that is transmitted through the glass. Spandrel: The panel(s) of a wall located between vision areas of windows which conceal structural columns floors and shear walls. Stc Rating: Sound Transmission Class Rating is a single-number rating system for interior building partitions and viewing windows used to categorize acoustic performance. Its original intent was to quantify interior building partitions not exterior wall components. As a result it is not recommended for glass selection of exterior wall applications since the single-number rating was achieved under a specific set of laboratory conditions. Structural Silicone Glazing: The use of a silicone sealant for the structural transfer of loads from the glass to its perimeter support system and retention of the glass in the opening. Substrate: The raw glass or base material to which other materials or fabrication procedures are applied. Tin Side: The bottom side of float glass as it was manufactured called “tin side” because float glass rides on a bath of liquid tin while it is being cooled. U-Value: A measure of heat gain or heat loss through glass due to the thermal conductance and the difference in indoor and outdoor temperatures. As the u-value decreases, so does the amount of heat that is transferred through the glazing material. The lower the u-value the more restrictive the fenestration product is to heat transfer; reciprocal of r-value. 132 <strong>VIRACON</strong> // RESOURCES
GLOSSARY Ultraviolet Light (UV): The name of the invisible portion of the light spectrum with wavelengths shorter than 390 nanometers. The damaging effects on long-term UV exposure results in fabric fading and plastic deterioration. Vacuum (Sputtering) Deposition: Process for applying multiple layers of metallic coatings to the surface of flat glass in a vacuum chamber. Visible Light Reflectance: The percentage of light that is reflected from the glass surface(s). Visible Light Transmittance: The percentage of visible light (380 - 780 nanometers) that is transmitted through the glass. (Visible light is the only portion of the solar spectrum visible to the human eye.) Warm Edge: Term used to describe insulating spacer technologies that achieve better center of glass thermal performance (u-value) than a traditional aluminum spacer. Weeps (or Weep Holes): Drain holes or slots in the sash or framing member to prevent accumulation of condensation and water. Wet Seal: Application of an elastomeric sealant between the glass and sash to form a weather-tight seal. <strong>VIRACON</strong> // RESOURCES 133
